I had installed the TexLive testing version and it processed many
documents correctly, but I uninstalled it after several LyX documents
failed.

Can you tell me what you mean about avoiding "cm"?  How?  What do you
mean?  What is super-cm?  I've sometimes inserted this in the preamble
because it is supposed to avoid the "bad fonts in pdf output"

\usepackage{lmodern}

But this did not change the weird output I was getting from TexLive.
